Can't it be packaged as a binary/whatever that would install without either cargo or npm?

Okay, this is a definite issue, you're still stuck validating inputs/outputs.

It's the middle managers. They're the unproductive ones in a remote setup.

I think the strict schema of Protobuf might be one of the major improvements, as most APIs don't publish a JSON schema? I've always had to use ajv or superstruct to make sure payloads match a schema, Protobuf doesn't need tha

I don't think it's LLM-generated or even assisted. It's kinda like how I write when I don't want to really argue a point but rather get to the good bits. Seems like the author just wanted to talk about Protobuf without b

Others have pointed out the brackets really buying, but I'd also argue that people deferring their purchases to a period of sales is generally not a good thing.

Game dev acquaintances here in Belgium and back in Turkey say it's never been so bad. Studios aren't shutting down but also not hiring over here. Your industry is not having a good time…

I've been unemployed for quite some time as a software developer with 13 years of experience. The unemployment agency of my country tries to help, but the reality is that the amount of new jobs every week is staggeringly low since end-

I wonder if government by random assignment would help, since a random number of citizens would then prioritise their own agenda but for a limited amount of time/scope/power.

This is appalling. Maybe all open-source code could be published as part of a not-for-profit cooperative that defends the programmers that enter into it.

I've commented elsewhere in the thread that such a thing might not be possible. I don't know about Germany, but volunteering for private companies in Belgium is illegal. Of course we might end up with a Mozilla-style NGO/corp

I'm not sure. Okay, lots of companies will use these automated blog generators that charge a few to automate content and posting. Fine. But who'll read that? Nobody. So I think the internet will eventually balance back to favourin

So all uses of water, land, and power are the same? They have no grading in terms of importance and priority, especially in a world contending with climate change, lack of arable land, lack of drinkable water, and so on? AI usage of these

Severely fine companies with these problems. That internalises the risk rather than pushing it outwards. If a company risks bankruptcy, they'll be more careful.

I'm not sure they're on K, it's highly disabling and wears out super quick. Most of the things they say sound like microdosed synthetic amphetamines: you're still functioning quite well in terms of thought but all shame

I hope that eventually ‘smart’ localised and portable EMPs become a thing. Arms race. I'm only partially kidding.

I think your ‘freedom’ infringes on other people's ‘rights’. I think rights should trumps freedoms, that is, your liberty ends where someone else's right to privacy begins.

Perhaps. But you can tell them they might lose their health insurance because of their online profile. In some countries that's quite scary.

Germany is a wonderful place — and aside from a few racist remarks when I grew my beard — I'm forever grateful for what that country did to my mental health, career, and future. Indeed it should be up to Germans to decide how to handle

So we're blaming parents now? I don't know a single parent that understands what a VPN is or why the government needs to be on top of that. This is 100% a crusade against online anonymity and a bid for control. Children aren'

When the metrics becomes a target, ladida. GitHub profiles are utterly meaningless to me, speaking as someone that was hiring folks in 2023–4. Perhaps we need an app to keep track of bad job candidates. We can gossip about them and such. I

Maybe it's not financially viable? Or the admins don't want to depend on a third-party like that? Dunno. URLIST was really great for this sort of things but they never made enough money.
